Clan Ventrue
Nobility, Old Money and Politics
The old money of the Kindred. These Vampires were seen as the driving force behind Kindred structure and law for many centuries. However, the fall from such a lofty pedestal has hit the Clan hard. Torn from many of their luxuries and resources and forced into an existence they dislike with a passion. So, they try to rally the Kindred by serving as leaders to the groups that find their ways to the waypoints, gaining as much respect as vilification depending on who they try to lead. Yet still, the refinement of the Clan shines through and may be their undoing as they can only survive on Vitae that suits their pallet. Vitae that is becoming increasingly hard to come by.
Clan Disciplines:
Dominate (The supernatural ability to enforce the desires of the Kindred over the mind and desires of another, forcing them to do as the Kindred wishes)
Fortitude (Supernatural resilience to damage but not the pain that comes with it)
Presence (Supernatural Charm, and sway over the emotions of others)
Clan Ventrue Flaw: Rarified Tastes.
Ventrue have exceedingly specific tastes in terms of blood they consume. This results in them only feeding from a certain group of mortals selected at character creation. This groups should represent approximately 5% of the population such as “Italian Bodybuilders over 5ft 7inches” and must be human. Ventrue may not take the Prey Exclusion flaw.
